polynomials - How to set/adjust Precision for an iterative calculation?


How should I restructure this code? I generate a high-order polynomial poly with integer coefficients, then find roots and divide them out of poly one at a time. I want FindRoot[] to use a very high precision on the first pass but then just use the precision of the inputs afterward.



z[n_, c_] := If[n > 0, z[n - 1, c]^2 + c, c];
poly = PolynomialQuotient[z[10, c] - z[6, c], 1 + c^2, c];
rts = {};
Do[Print[Precision[poly]];
aa = FindRoot[poly, {c, I}, WorkingPrecision -> Min[500, Floor[Precision[poly]]]];
AppendTo[rts, c /. aa];
poly = PolynomialQuotient[poly, ((z - c)*(z - Conjugate[c]) /. aa) /. z -> c, c], {j, 1, 5}]

(* [Infinity] 319.649 135.906 0.00598703 *)


I'm losing so much precision on each pass that I can only get a few roots. I'm trying to get the roots closest to i without having to find all the roots. I encountered this precision problem while trying to fix this other problem. I'm also not clear on WHY the polynomial division loses precision so quickly.




Answer



Precision is preserved, and error messages are eliminated by replacing the second instance of PolynomialQuotient by a simple divide.


poly = poly/ (((z - c)*(z - Conjugate[c]) /. aa) /. z -> c)

The only apparent difference is that PolynomialQuotient discards any remainder, and there is a remainder unless c is exact. In some way that I do not understand, discarding the remainder must reduce the precision of poly. So, this may not be a particularly satisfying answer, but it does produce accurate roots for a WorkingPrecision as low as Min[190, Floor[Precision[poly]]]. Replace 190 by 187, however, and the precision of poly gradually decreases to 185, whereupon the Jacobian becomes singular. For completeness, rts[[5]] for 190 is

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
